Steroids withdrawal (addiction) syndrome is a distinct clinical adverse effect of steroid misuse (Hagar T, Leshem YA, Hannifin JM, etc. 2015). Patients and physicians should be aware of its clinical features and risk factors to identify and prevent this complication. 76.7% of patients with steroid withdrawal syndrome received complete or partial clearance in 3 months, 12.5% in 6 months, 5.5% in 12 months and 5.1% over 12 months respectively after discontinuation use of steroid.

The prevalence of psoriasis in the US was estimated to be 7.4 million in 2013. Comparatively,psoriasis patients incurred incremental medical costs of $2284, experienced a $2203 reduction in HRQOL, and a $1935 reduction in productivity. The total burden of psoriasis was estimated as $35.2 billion, with $12.2 billion in incremental medical costs (35%), $11.8 billion from reduced HRQOL (34%), and $11.2 billion from productivity losses (32%).

From 1956 to July 2013, there were 32 observational studies (512420 participants) of fatty acids from dietary intake; 17 observational studies (25721 participants) of fatty acid biomarkers; and 27 randomized, controlled trials (105085 participants) of fatty acid supplementation. Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats.
